There's not much time left this year...Have you decided your plans for the New Year?
This time, we will introduce three particularly recommended events and spots among the countdown events held in the Yokohama area, which is also a popular New Year's countdown spot.

・Countdown to the New Year's Eve with the whistle at Osanbashi Pier in Yokohama!

A seasonal winter event in Yokohama is the "New Year's Eve whistle." At the same time as the clock strikes midnight on New Year's Day, all the ships moored in Yokohama Port blow their whistles in unison to announce the arrival of the new year. Hearing the New Year's Eve whistle, rather than the bells, is a unique pleasure of New Year's Eve in Yokohama.

・"New Year countdown" in Yokohama Chinatown

Yokohama Chinatown is a place where you can experience Chinese culture without leaving Japan.

At the Guandi Temple and Mazu Temple, the central spots of Chinatown, a countdown event is held every year. The classical Chinese dance and votive lion dance performed in colorful costumes are lively and impressive!

・Celebrate the New Year at the rainbow-lit Yokohama Marine Tower!

Yokohama Marine Tower will have extended opening hours on New Year's Eve, and will be illuminated with a rainbow of lights as the new year arrives. You can welcome the new year from the observation deck, and maybe even see the illuminations all over Yokohama.
